👍👍 Unfortunately, many of the negative comments here are due to the disagreement of a group of people with the political beliefs of the owner of a historic park. Wonderful landmark! Here you can get acquainted with the history of Bulgaria in a remarkable, attractive and fascinating way! The place is...

Двор на кирилицата
Museum
👍👍 One thing that I wish - Bulgarian Government will put up more fund to add English version of each touristic site history so it will be more easier for us to understand behind all of these waxes or letters and so on. And so we can feel the history while visiting this sort of place. If we don’t have...

The entry is 6 lev (3 usd) per person and covers all 3 sites and the museum.
There a small cafe with beer and soft drinks....

Otto Pizza Napoletana
Pizza restaurant
👍👍 This was a fantastic discover. The pizzas are delicious and we have tried pizza around the globe. I am not a huge fan of pizza bianca but in this restaurant I could not stop eating slices from my partner and I had to share some prosciutto with the lovely cat sitting next to us.
Both pizzas were amaz...

Helikon

What's visible now has a length of 800 m and is quite wide - the sand is very fine also. This desert with rock...
